Mid May.

Team 7, led by Kakashi, has been in the Country of Waves for some time.

Except for the accidental kidnapping incident that happened to Naruto that day, Team 7 did not encounter any difficult problems in the Country of Waves. The work in the Country of Waves was also very smooth, and everything seemed calm. And as the days passed,

Day by day, Team 7's work in the Country of Waves is gradually coming to an end.

"Tomorrow is the day to leave. Time flies so fast..."

In the quiet forest, Sasuke whispered alone.

Although on the surface, Sasuke didn't reveal anything on his face, he was actually starting to feel nervous inside.

This sense of urgency not only came from his own lack of strength, but also partly came from the pressure placed on him by Naruto.

Generally speaking, during his time in the Land of Waves, every member of Team 7, except for Kakashi, the mentor jounin, was more or less honed.

In particular, Naruto not only learned the advanced skill of climbing trees and treading water, but also under Kakashi's responsible teaching, he initially mastered the basic application of wind attribute chakra, and was barely able to use some basic wind escape ninjutsu.

Compared to Naruto when he just graduated from the ninja school, Naruto's strength now has undoubtedly increased a lot. Even Sasuke, whose strength has always been ahead of Naruto, can feel that Naruto is growing at a terrifying speed.

If it were Naruto who had just graduated from the ninja school, Sasuke wouldn't be able to feel anything yet. Now Naruto is already qualified to fight him.

Sasuke understood very early on that compared to himself, Naruto had good foundation in all aspects. What he lacked was just the mastery of basic abilities.

Whether it is chakra control skills or basic physical skills, they are Naruto's shortcomings.

As long as Naruto can squeeze out time and use this time for targeted training, he will naturally grow up very quickly.

Coupled with the guidance of Kakashi, an outstanding jounin, it also catalyzed Naruto's growth to a certain extent and saved Naruto a lot of time.

Therefore, facing the current Naruto, Sasuke gradually felt a little pressure.

Although he received no less from Kakashi than Naruto in terms of Jonin's guidance, his various foundations had already been polished, and it would not be easy to take a step further in terms of strength.

The power of Thunder Release: Chidori is very powerful, but it is not easy for Sasuke to master it. He can only use it twice a day.

The third time he uses it, his chakra will probably not be enough.

Moreover, when this technique is attacking, someone must restrain the enemy's movement on his behalf to ensure that the ninjutsu is not exhausted. Just like in this battle, Naruto restrained the enemy and then used Thunder Release and Chidori to kill him.

.

On the contrary, if there is no external force to restrict the enemy's movement, the move Thunder Release Chidori is a very good choice to distract the enemy. Because this move is powerful enough, but the sound is too noisy.

As long as it is released, the enemy will realize that they absolutely cannot be hit by the Chidori. In this case, if you want to hit the enemy, you can only rely on the enemy's stupidity.

According to Kakashi's explanation, the Chidori Ninjutsu was originally created not to kill the enemy from the front, but to distract the enemy so that he could use the White Fang Sword Jutsu with the other hand to achieve a surprise kill.

enemy's purpose.

Therefore, in real actual combat, the tactical system of Thunder Release Chidori needs to be developed by oneself.

If used alone, this move will be easily dodged by the enemy. It must be combined with a well-formed tactical system to ensure the hit rate.

Once the hit rate is guaranteed, Chidori is a very terrifying ninjutsu.

Next, how to derive his own thunder escape tactical system based on Chidori is something Sasuke must seriously consider.

At this point, Kakashi can only provide him with very little help. He can only guide him from the side, supplement his experience, and adapt to his own lightning escape tactical system. Sasuke himself needs to conduct research and development in order to ensure that the technique is

The degree of compatibility with oneself.

Sasuke has been thinking about this issue for a while.

If this problem can be solved, his strength will undoubtedly be greatly improved.

Just when Sasuke was thinking about this problem, there was a sudden sound in his ears.

He turned around and saw Kakashi walking towards him, put away his thinking expression, and asked aloud: "What's the matter?"

"I'm here to take a look at your cultivation progress in the past few days. I also want to remind you that we will leave the Kingdom of Waves tomorrow. Don't overdo your cultivation today."

Kakashi said.

"I understand this kind of thing without you reminding me."

"I said this just because you didn't realize it. Like Naruto, you have recently started practicing like crazy. Are you still worried about what happened before? There is no need to put pressure on yourself like this. Anyway,

Especially jounin, even if he is injured, he is still an elite named jounin."

Kakashi said calmly.

He was referring to the battle with Naruto and Sakura against the Kumogakure Jonin.

Through that battle, Sasuke realized that his own strength was weak and had nothing to be proud of, so he wanted to become stronger urgently.

"I want to ask a question."

Sasuke fell silent and suddenly raised his head and looked at Kakashi.

"What?"

"At my age, can Itachi be able to deal with a Jonin alone?"

Regarding this question, Kakashi just stared at Sasuke and did not answer immediately.

But even if Kakashi didn't answer, Sasuke could understand what the answer was.

The answer is yes.

At this time, Itachi not only joined the elite of Konoha's ANBU, but it would probably not be difficult to deal with the Jonin alone.

Because of this, Sasuke felt that his power was far from enough.

Maybe facing the chuunin, he still has the strength to fight and won't behave so badly.

But the gap between jounin and chuunin is so big that even if Sasuke has mastered the A-level ninjutsu Thunder Release and Chidori, he will feel deeply powerless when facing a real jounin.

It has been several years since Itachi defected to Konoha. In the past few years, his strength has grown rapidly, but in contrast, Itachi will not stand still. Compared to a few years ago, Itachi will only become stronger and stronger. Now

He is probably already powerful to a level that Sasuke cannot even imagine.

This feeling of weakness reminded Sasuke again of the night when his clan was exterminated. Facing his enemies, he could only show helpless unwillingness and pain.

Kakashi stared at Sasuke and did not interrupt to talk about Itachi. As if to confirm something, he asked: "Have you awakened the Sharingan?"

As soon as these words came out, Sasuke was shocked, and the expression on his face changed slightly.

Under Kakashi's careful gaze, Sasuke felt as if all the secrets in his body had been seen through.

He asked helplessly: "How did you know?"

Now that Kakashi saw through it, Sasuke no longer concealed it, but simply injected chakra into his eyes, and his eyes immediately changed.

The eyes became as red as blood, and a dark magatama appeared in the red pupils, looking mysterious and abnormal.

"Your mind is starting to get messed up."

Kakashi saw this and said calmly.

"Heart?"

"The eyes are the windows of the soul. I should have said more than once that the most taboo thing about understanding nature is to be upset. If you can't calm down your heart and pay attention to spiritual practice, you want to use the Sharingan to deal with the Mangekyou

Wheel eye, this is impossible."

There is an essential difference between the Mangekyō Sharingan and the Sharingan.

There is a level of suppression between the pupil technique and the pupil technique. This level of suppression will put Sasuke under huge restrictions in the process of fighting the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Sasuke was slightly silent. In fact, this was not the first time Kakashi had warned him like this.

In the past few years, he has followed Kakashi to practice. His biggest gain is not to polish his own foundation, but to see the birth of another power system, which has opened the door to a new world for him.

Naturally, this is an invisible and intangible mysterious power. So far, Sasuke has not been able to fully understand what this power means to ninjas.

But one thing is for sure, once this kind of power is truly mastered, it can benefit you for life.

Under this temptation, Sasuke couldn't help but say: "Natural energy... what exactly is it? Why have I never seen anyone talk about it except you and me?"

If natural energy is also one of the compulsory abilities for ninjas, then why is there no record of this in the textbooks he has studied?

And in Konoha, he also discovered that apart from him and Kakashi, no third person had yet discovered this kind of power.

He had this question more than once in the past. In the past, because of his shallow knowledge, he did not pay much attention to this issue.

But as time went by, he also realized some things that he had not discovered before.

Kakashi's body is always surrounded by a mysterious fog, making it impossible for people to detect what is hidden inside.

"It's too early for you to ask this. But this thing is indeed not popular in the ninja world. The reason why I let you practice natural energy is for today."

"What?"

Sasuke's body trembled.

For today? Kakashi's words made Sasuke unable to understand.

"As a ninja of the Uchiha clan, you should know what the Sharingan means to you, right?"

Kakashi asked.

Sasuke nodded.
